Yeah, it goes away All of this and more of nothing in my life No color clay Individuality not safe As of now I bet you got me wrong So unsure you run from something strong I can't let go Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow Feel a tortured brain Show your belly like you want me to As of now I bet you got me wrong So unsure you run from something strong I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love That don't last forever Something's gotta turn out right You sugar taste Sweetness doesn't often touch my face Stay if you please You may not be here when I leave As of now I bet you got me wrong So unsure we reach for something strong I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love That don't last forever Something's gotta turn out right
